Abstract


The information and communication technology-driven environment compelled to software engineers and professionals to work harder to meet out the expectations of the people needs and requirements. The smartphone savvy generation is more acquainted with application based software systems along with standard and smart search platforms. They are shifting from text-based search to voice search. ‘OK Google’ and ‘Hey Alexa’ are prominent voice services brought by Google and Amazon to attract their customers towards their products and make their life easy in searching and retrieving information.

We are trying to highlight some issues and concerns over talking Web-OPAC in libraries.
